    Seeing your other emails I'd also encourage you to assess not just
    technology but actually more importantly risk. Some pointers for
    this are:<br>
    Developer Mindshare<br>
    Hiring<br>
    Education/Training<br>
    Control<br>
    Eco System/3rd party integration<br>
    Global Professional Services<br>
    <br>
    Developer Mindshare<br>
    -Drools is pervasive, meaning it's everywhere<br>
    <br>
    Hiring and consultants<br>
    -The pervasive nature of Drools means there are a large number of
    people you can hire. You don't want to get locked into a single
    vendor because you can't hire anyone or find alternative
    consultancies.<br>
    -Drools is actively used in a large number of university research
    projects, ensuring that there are people leaving university with
    Drools experience. This is a fast growing area, I hope that
    eventually Drools itself will be a teaching material in universities
    - once we add backward chaining and semantics.<br>
    <br>
    Education/Training<br>
    -Two Drools books, more on the way<br>
    -Wealth of online information<br>
    -Active mailing lists<br>
    -Real time chat channels<br>
    -Free and open workshops throughout the year in different locations<br>
    <br>
    Control<br>
    -Can you fix bugs yourself, are you in charge of your own personal
    roadmaps. Or are you at the mercy of a vendor?<br>
    <br>
    Eco System/3rd party integration<br>
    -Drools is integrated everywhere - Spring, Camel etc.<br>
    <br>
    Global Professional Services<br>
    -Red Hat is in the 4 corners of the globe offering a full range of
    professional services and support subscriptions.<br>
    <br>
    All in all Drools is going in a rapid direction for risk reduction.
    Where as Corticon could be bought by Oracle or IBM next year for
    it's sales contacts and the tech shelved.<br>
